WFH is fine. Bothers me not at all. I hate not being able to breathe the same air as my friends. It makes so many things impossible - things that are also impossible unless my friends mostly live within 30 minutes travel of me.

Have you made your last friend or could you make different ones if you moved somewhere else?

Moving to a rural area is even worse. In principle I can maintain friendships with people separated by any distance from me, but there's no substitute for being in a highly populated area in terms of making new friends. And the more highly populated the better.

I think the last friend I made by first meeting them in person was in the early 90's - people I knew from my home town.

Every one since then was someone I knew online for many years first.
